Propose a change

Title 15 Cities and Towns

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

15-5-208. Pension application; payments thereafter; when benefits suspended.

Application for pension may be made prior to actual retirement upon statement of the intention to retire, but payment shall not begin until the applicant has actually retired and his name is stricken from the payroll of the city or town. No fireman or any of his survivors is entitled to any of the benefits of this article while the fireman or his survivors are receiving payments under the Worker's Compensation Act, but when the payments under the Worker's Compensation Act terminate, his or their rights to the benefits of this article attach. Any fireman who is entitled to the benefits of insurance paid for from the general fund of any city or town is not entitled to any of the benefits of this article until the insurance payments cease.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
